Moats?

[123]

What is even the point of the moats? They certainly don't stop vikings form coming in thats for sure, I ringed by entire kingdom/town with it and htye got in and had a burning spree.

They help make your walls look cleaner? Also, they're dirt cheap, costing only gold (which is borderline trivial to get once you have a single tax collector).

The big reason is that they slow down ogres, so you have more time to shoot them before they get to your walls.

Best way to stop the vikings is to have a hero lead a large army against them while having archer towers pick off all the stragglers. You are going to need a blacksmith to make armaments, chamber of war to hire heroes, barracks to train soldiers and idle peasants ready to be trained into soldiers in the barracks.

I know I am currently working on building a huge army for the kingdom of derpydo.

Useless, just surround your island with walls and leave only the landing point you want the vikings to land not blocked. I did that and build archers towers around that spot, they...die.
